On the nodal structure of single-particle approximation based atomic wave functions.

چکیده
The nodal structures of atomic wave functions based on a product of spatial orbitals, namely, restricted, unrestricted, and generalized valence bond wave functions, are shown to be equivalent. This result is verified by fixed node-diffusion Monte Carlo simulations for atoms up to Ne. Also for a molecular system, Li(2) at the equilibrium geometry, a multideterminantal generalized valence bond wave function does not improve the nodal surfaces of a restricted Hartree-Fock wave function.

An investigation of nodal structures and the construction of trial wave functions.
The factors influencing the quality of the nodal surfaces, namely, the atomic basis set, the single-particle orbitals, and the configurations included in the wave-function expansion, are examined for a few atomic and molecular systems. The following empirical rules are found: the atomic basis set must be fairly large, complete active space and natural orbitals are usually better than Hartree-Fo...
متن کاملJoint inversion of ReMi dispersion curves and refraction travel times using particle swarm optimization algorithm
Shear-wave velocity ( ) is an important parameter used for site characterization in geotechnical engineering. However, dispersion curve inversion is challenging for most inversion methods due to its high non-linearity and mix-determined trait. In order to overcome these problems, in this study, a joint inversion strategy is proposed based on the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. The ...

In the present work, the total cross-section for the ionization of H, He, Ne and Ar atoms by +He2+ ، H+ ، Li3 ions has been calculated. In these calculations, a binary encounter approximation in the form of a two-body process between projectile ions and atomic electrons at the high energy range has been implemented. In order to enter the nuclear role of the target atom, the atomic electron vel...
متن کاملIncompressible smoothed particle hydrodynamics simulations on free surface flows
The water wave generation by wave paddle and a freely falling rigid body are examined by using an Incompressible Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (ISPH). In the current ISPH method, the pressure was evaluated by solving pressure Poisson equation using a semi-implicit algorithm based on the projection scheme and the source term of pressure Poisson equation contains both of divergence free ve...
متن کاملElectronic structures of †110‡-faceted self-assembled pyramidal InAs/GaAs quantum dots
We calculate the electronic structures of pyramidal quantum dots with supercells containing 250 000 atoms, using spin-orbit-coupled, nonlocal, empirical pseudopotentials. We compare the results with previous theoretical calculations. Our calculation circumvents the approximations underlying the conventional effective-mass approach: we describe the potential, the strain and the wave functions us...
